Wineries & Breweries

Loudoun is DC wine country — and increasingly beer country too. A short list of our favorites within a short drive of the venue.

  • Dirt Farm Brewing

    A local favorite with panoramic views of the Loudoun Valley, outdoor seating, and farm-brewed beer. Great for casual groups and sunset drinks.
